The New Normal
written by: Bruce Levine

The new normal
A fork in the road
Patterns dismembered
Disemboweled entities
Parades of non-sequiturs
Masquerading as normal
Without understanding why
Where or how
A broken hourglass
Sand spilled on a table
Driftwood on a beach
Formless yet beautiful
As it awaits redemption
In a time continuum
A flame in a vacuum
Extinguished without air
Eviscerated memories
In quicksand forgotten
The new normal
Tightening its grip
With tears flowing softly
On landscapes plowed under
A road yet created
A normal unknown
